Ingredients
1 cup – whole wheat flour
3/4 cup – all purpose flour
¼ cup – ground flax seed
1 1/2 teaspoons – baking soda
1/2 teaspoon – salt
4 overripe bananas
1/2 cup – brown sugar
1/2 cup – avocado oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon – pure vanilla extract
½ cup – cashews or walnuts, chopped
½ cup – dark chocolate chips
Instructions
1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and lightly oil 2 muffin tins OR line with cupcake
liners.
2) In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, ground flax
seed, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
3) Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of
texture; set aside.
4) With a whisk or an electric mixer, whip the 2 remaining bananas and the brown
sugar together until very well incorporated and liquefied.
5) To the whipped bananas and sugar, add avocado oil, egg, and vanilla and mix
until fully incorporated.
6) To the bananas, sugar, avocado oil, egg, and vanilla mixture, add in the dry
ingredients and mix with a whisk until just incorporated.
7) Fold in the nuts, chocolate chips, and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula.
Spoon the batter into the muffin tins to fill them about halfway. Give them a rap
on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
8) Bake until a toothpick stuck in the muffins comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let
cool for a few minutes before turning the muffins out. Serve warm or at room
temperature.
